WinDirUsage V1.5c - November 3, 1996
Copyright (c) 1993-1996 by Kevin Routley. All rights reserved.
Thank you for evaluating WinDirUsage V1.5c!
Installation
============
To install, copy the contents of the disk into a directory
on your hard disk. WIND165.EXE is the 16-bit (Windows
V3.1, V3.11) version of WinDirUsage V1.5a, and WIND325.EXE
is the 32-bit (Windows 95, NT) version.
WinDirUsage will NOT run unless WINDRU5.HLP and NTHELPR.EXE
are in the same directory as the executable files. The
other files are not needed after you've read them.
The program may be executed using the File|Run... command
from either Program Manager or File Manager. You may wish
to create an icon in Program Manager for convenient execution,
or a desktop shortcut if you are using Windows 95 or Windows
NT V4.0. Note that you may specify a hard disk to read on
the command line, so WinDirUsage will read the indicated
disk instead of the disk it was executed from.
Getting Started
===============
WinDirUsage initially reads the drive it was executed on.
So if you run WinDirUsage from a floppy disk or another
drive which has no subdirectories, the pie chart will merely
show a circle and 100% of the disk space used by the files
in the root directory.
Available only to registered users:
Use the 'Read disk at startup' option in the Labelling...
options dialog to control whether WinDirUsage performs this
initial read of the disk.
WinDirUsage allows you to select any drive on your system.
Click on the down arrow next to the pulldown menu in the
upper left corner to see available drives. When a drive has
been selected, WinDirUsage will read the contents of the new
drive.
For a directory that has subdirectories, WinDirUsage will
show a pie chart that has slices showing the size of each
directory tree. The list box also shows each directory,
sorted in order of size, largest listed first. The smallest
directories will not be shown in the pie chart but are shown
in the list box.
You can select a new directory to view in more detail by
either selecting the new directory in the list box, or by
clicking on the corresponding section in the pie chart.
WinDirUsage has many more features! See the online help
file for more information.
De-Installation
===============
Should you choose not to keep WinDirUsage, it may be
de-installed by deleting the files you restored from the
distribution set. Also, delete any Program Manager groups
and/or icons you may have created. Finally, delete
WINDIRU.INI from your Windows directory. Thats it!
Registration Benefits
=====================
Registered copies of WinDirUsage do not perform extra
disk reads when moving between directories. Also, the
banner box does not appear for registered users.
As a registered owner of WinDirUsage, you are entitled to
early notification of new versions of WinDirUsage and
preferred technical support and new features.
And by registering WinDirUsage you are encouraging the
continued development and distribution of shareware by
Tekra Software and Laser Point Software. Support the
Shareware concept!
Feedback
========
New versions of WinDirUsage will be released over time,
depending on demand and how quickly I can add new features.
Suggestions, ideas, or constructive criticism are appreciated!
